It's been way too long since I last posted! I've been very busy in the last week or so, working overtime shifts and trying to keep our house clean. Seriously, with two dogs, that is a full time job! Unfortunately, that feels like all I've been doing so not too much fun stuff to report :)
One bummer of the last few weeks was NOT putting an offer on a house. Keith and I found a house that we really liked, and we were THIS CLOSE to putting in an offer. But we didn't. Why, you ask? Because the stupid stock market took all of our moneys :(. Well, not all of it, but about 25% of our down payment. So, alas, we decided that we would keep to our goal of having 10% down and not put in an offer. I'm pretty crushed over this, but I know that half of becoming an adult is learning to be responsible. And that was very responsible of us. Sigh...
In more exciting news, I am 8 days away from running my first 5K. I honestly can't believe how far I've come in just under two months. I can now run for 25 minutes, or 2.5 miles, without walking at all! I know that doesn't sound very impressive, but for me it is. I'm hoping to run about 4-5 more times before next Saturday, working my way up to 30 minutes running. I was initially trying to run the 5K in under 30 minutes, but I will be overjoyed if I can finish it without walking. So that's the new goal! Another goal that Keith and I tentatively made last night? We're going to keep running and attempt a half marathon in the next year. Crazy, crazy, crazy. Never thought I would be able to even fathom that :)
That's all for now kids. Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather!
